Undeniably one of the most engaging and enjoyable poets currently writing in Europe, Aleš Šteger is a cultivated and often brilliant poet whose work demands rereading for its fluency and lumination. He maintains an air of philosophical sophistication while imbuing his work with a laconic satire and aberrant minimalism that makes it distinct in the memory. A leading light in the rich Slovenian poetry community, we are very pleased to introduce Aleš Šteger as Maintenant edition Forty Five.
Accompanying the interview are nine of his poems.
Special thanks to Jan Wagner for his assistance with this interview.
